New MMO Crowfall Hits $1 Million on Kickstarter, Adds Stretch Goals

Fresh MMO Crowfall has passed the $1 million mark on Kickstarter, with the total currently sitting at $1,016,789.

This means the first previously-announced stretch goal has been hit, so a dedicated FX artist will now be hired to make the spell effects present in the game look that much better. It'll also enable the current 3D character artist, who's been moonlighting as an FX designer due to the team's small size, to refocus his attention on the game's models. This means the Centaur race, which is currently only available in male form, will get a female version too.

While the $1.3 million stretch goal of mounts and caravans is still some way off, developer ArtCraft has revealed bonus rewards are on the way for backers should this next stretch goal be hit. Basic backers will get a rare magical Quarterhorse summoning figure, while Bronze patrons will get this and a rare Warhorse summoning figurine. Top of the pile is the Silver Patron level, where backers will get the previous two mounts along with a Nightmare summoning figurine.

Additionally, the project now has over 10,500 backers, so ArtCraft has decided to add further rewards based on the number of people supporting them. Should the 12,000 backer mark be reached, ArtCraft will give every back an All-Father statue to display in their Eternal Kingdom. This will make it clear you were one of the first to support the game.

Officially revealed a couple of weeks ago, Crowfall is a new PC-only MMO that describes itself as being "like Game of Thrones meets Eve Online." It's got quite a few exciting and ambitious new ideas, which you can read about in the initial announcement.
